FC Dallas Defeats DC United

FC Dallas played against DC United at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas. It was a game that FC Dallas needed to win in order to possibly qualify for the MLS Cup. What happened was proof that statistics are not always right since FC Dallas was 8-9-9 and DC United was 10-13-3.

The game started with FC Dallas player Bruno Guarda receiving a yellow card for unsportsmanlike behaviour within 8 minutes of the game followed by a goal by Andre Rocha within 9 minutes of the game. Andre Rocha’s goal was unassisted and was a direct kick into the center of the net which caught the goalkeeper for DC United in a state of surprise. The rest of the game was one in which FC Dallas showed their best and the supporters were celebrating by waving flags of Texas and FC Dallas.

FC Dallas continued with their upbeat ways of playing a great game with the goals by Cunningham with the assistance of Zaragoza and Cooper [which was unassisted]. It was a great game for FC Dallas and the people were enjoying every moment. It was also great to see FC Dallas break its spell of not winning and ending the winning streak of DC United with 3 to 0. While FC Dallas won this time, it would be unwise if they were to sit back and relax. The MLS Cup is almost close at hand and it would be a big mistake if FC Dallas were to lose more games because of not practicing, overconfidence, under estimating the opponent, and lack of teamwork.

DC United never recovered from the initial shock and made serious errors in the game which the disciplined, and organized FC Dallas used to their advantage. DC United started to become a disorganized team with yellow cards for Guerrero [reckless tackle], Peralta [reckless foul], and Crayton [dissent] followed by the expulsion of Jaime Moreno for violent conduct unbecoming of a football [soccer] player. DC United may have a chance but it has to find a way to reorganize itself and its players will have to control their temper.

I would like to wish FC Dallas and DC United the best in their future games leading to the MLS Cup.
